1 The use of IE with PhixFlow version 7.0 onwards (i.e. with the Javascript GUI) is not recommended. The GUI has full functionality in this browser, but does not perform as well as in Chrome and Firefox.

2 We support all versions of Chrome and Firefox released in the 2 years prior to the release date. The versions tested at the time of each release are listed here. Should you have any problems with an earlier version than that listed, but within 2 years of the release date, or a later version than that listed, please contact the PhixFlow support desk.
